Approximation of Euler number e

1 view (last 30 days)
Approximation of Euler number e The Euler number e can be approximated as follows:
e_ap(n)= 1/0! + 1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3! +⋯+ 1/n!
The approximation error is the smaller, the higher n is.
Q: Enter e_ap(13) as a number with 13 valid digits! Do not enter leading or trailing zeros or blanks.
